PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn’t have kids, it’s that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that’s my bad.

    i think a good question to ask yourself is: would you like to be born in today’s time? if not, then probably neither does your child.

        Many people have and we have the most depressed people ever? Thanks for the shove to them I guess? Just because the people who haven’t don’t want to doesn’t mean they want to grow up in current times. Would I rather exist or be tiktok obsessed depressed and ai-addicted? Legitimately hard to say. Lucky for me I’m none of those, but it would be a near unwinnable battle for my kids.

        You suck

        It’s not ending a life, it’s not breeding

        You’re a classic example of a stupid breeder, incapable of anything more than a childish, knee-jerk reaction bereft of thought
